Erwin Redl


Redl’s works use LED lighting to distort the viewer’s perception of space. It makes the viewer look at the detail to each shape that is found in that space. These works are very pleasing to the eye because of the brilliant lights but they are much more than that. They are abstract works that bring attention to the world of graphics and 3D animation. Redl’s interest in the virtual reality also influences many of his works.

This picture is from Redl’s work called Matrix V. The lights in this space distort the image a little bit. It looks like the shape on the inside of this room could be bowing inward or outward depending on how the viewer looks at it. Anyone can appreciate this piece because of its bright, pleasing color but I think Redl wants people to look deeper than that. It’s not about the colors, but rather about the space that the colors are lighting up.
